What's up, everybody, welcome into this Tuesday edition of Pushing the Pile, brought to by Fando

Sportsbook, Make Every Moment More.

Mike Renner, joined by Ben Danucci today. J.P. Acosta has the day off here. Could not make today's show.

He should be back here later in the week, though. But Ben, how you doing, man? Great to have you back.

Good. How you doing? Christmas in a couple days and 2025, start 2026. Should be fun.

Yes, very excited. Not very excited about this Christmas Day slate. We'll be previewing that at the end of the show. It may not take very long to preview it because not a single one of the teams playing has even a chance at this point. No, actually, that's not true. One team has chance.

It's a 4% chance.

Detroit Lions, everyone else eliminated from playoff contention.

Obviously, the Denver Broncos in it, but they're playing the Chiefs who are eliminated.

So not a lot going on there in terms of movement, but we'll get to that at the end.

Let's start with Monday night football, though, where 49ers take down the Colts 48 to 27. Watching last night, watching Philip Rivers, knowing that you were going to be

on the show here today, I was wondering, at what age do you think you had a stronger arm than

Philip Rivers does right now.

That's a good question.

Watching him last night, watching him last night makes me think middle school, ninth grade,

I'd like to give myself the benefit of the doubt, but realistically, probably 10th or 11th grade.

I mean, the fact that he was able to go out there last night and still look formidable, I figured he would look better week one to week two, but it was

fun to watch some of those, some of those balls get thrown last night. It really does. So,

like, when I, I'm like CBS's draft guy. PFF's draft guy. That's kind of like my niche. And,

you know, in the draft process, we talk a lot about tools, arm talent. But when a guy can go out there, and I did the calculations, the farthest throw he had all day. And I think it was him pretty much putting everything into it was 45 yards, endpoints, end point. If a guy can go out there and his max is 45 yards and still put up damn near 300 yards

in an NFL game, 27 points, it makes you realize that the quarterback position really is

between the years, 90% what you can do physically, probably the other 10%. That was, yeah,
